prepopulate

I like Prepopulate. I like to have that pseudo-RESTful way of preloading a form to minimize the amount of work a user has to do to get to the point of submitting a form. But I also like clean URLs. This post reviews in detail a technique to use a single prepopulated nodereference field to prepopulate a bunch of other fields based on that reference.

The Prepopulate module works some great magic to preload forms from URL variables. But suppose you need some extra magic to modify the titles it puts in place?

The Prepopulate module for Drupal is a nifty little tool that resets the default values of forms on their way to the browser. This is particularly useful for crafting links to create nodes with pre-set values. You can even prepopulate Case Tracker form values to help users create cases filled out as you would like.
